Hi everyone I've been doing some reading and catching up on things to start playing bass again while finding this fantastic club.
It's been years since I have played especially in a band {1995!} but recently picked up a new Player Precision bass I seen on sale at GC. Ocean turquoise with tortise shell 4 ply pickguard. I have been playing it on an old Yamaha 112 thats been collecting dust and is on its way out so today I ordered a Rumble 100 v3 that should be here tomorrow.
My main rig before I stopped was a 74 Fender sunburst precision with maple board. I don't recall the model but this was through GK head of some sort possibly the RB800. The cabs I used were mesa. One was a 15 and I believe the other was a 2 10. I recall having a 4 10 at some point but it was a peavy which was a damn good cab. I kept a Peavy basic 60 at home for practice.
I sold it all for drums back then and played in another band till around 06. My all time {musical} regret was selling that bass. I paid $400 and change for it and it played so well plus was nice and worn in. I have to see what a 74 P bass costs today.
Man the Player basses are up there! Mine came to $700 after tax and that was a sale! $824 now that the sale is over over. The people I played with are gone now but I wanted to keep the light on so to speak and this feels like a solid bass to keep throughout life.
Always loved the precision bass it just felt/feels right and has the tone I like. Also purchased some flatwounds but I am going to re-callous my fingers on these for a long while.
Anyways thought I would share a little instead of saying hi and asking a million questions. Oh wait here's a question! Do you think I'll be happy with the rumble 100 around the house or stick with the thirty year old yamaha thats a scratchy as my cat?
Anyways fwels good to play again and nice to meet you all.
